' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonens DEMANDRE, a citizen of the French Republic,residing at Paris, France, have invented a new and use fulNecktie-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a simple device for binding ties fordouble-collars, and it is specially characterized by the fact that, withmy apparatus, a woven material of any kind and form adapts itself nicelyasa tie, as for instance" a fancy handkerchief, a Well'kept patch of anold tie, and the like; that the tie may he bound apart from the collarwhich permits of a much easier manipulation.

There exists already a sort of tie-holder for self-binders which isdestined for the same purpose, but same comprises a bent, baggy portionwhich constantly hinders when inserting a tie-pin, and which has,moreover, the still greater drawback that such a tie-holder does notlend itself for the self-binding of small bows, and thus eliminates agreat branch of its adaptability. In order to meet these very-drawbacksunder signed has devised his improved tie-holder.

In the accompanying drawing the invention is shown by way of example. v

Figure 1 represents a collar fitted with the new device in closedposition, but without tie. Fig. 2 shows the two hooks of the elasticband hooked to the side edges of the collar, Fig. 3 illustrates a tiewound around the metal piece, the hooks shown in position ready to behooked on. Fig. 4:. shows in a plan-view the metal'piece and the twohooks. Fig. 5 shows a tie one end of which being introduced into thehole of one of the exv tremities of the metalpieoe. Fig. 6 representsanother form of a tie put on the metal 7 iece.

The tie-holder consists of a metal piece 0 slightly curved according tothe curvature of the collar and provided with holes f and i at the ends,destined to be engaged and held in position by a hook d at bothextremities of an elastic band a which is placed around the neck betweenthe two collar halves; several teeth j are arranged within the\hole ffor retaining the end it of the tie-knot.

While binding the tie the two hooks of-the elastic band rest on thecollar-edges 0. After the desired tie has been formed on the metal piece6 (Figs. 3, 5, 6) same is attached 'to the hooks d. For taking oil thedevice, it simply'sufiices to pass the extre1nities of the metal pieceover the collar-edges 0 whereby the hooks of the-elastic hand areengaged by the said edges and the metal. piece becomes free.' i

The drawing shows clearly the way how to'bind a tie on the saidtie-holder.

A necktie holder comprising an oblong piece, 6, provided 'at'each endwith a hole, f, z, for the reception of the ends of the neckband, andalso provided with teeth, j, projecting into-one of said holes; saidteeth adapted to retain one end of the material of the tie knot, as setforth;

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
